*** On the subject of Duke Devlin, when he's "dying" due to the lack of pretty girls around, you can hear the music skipping in the background.
** The Egyptian Gods also have their own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcjOcYHWl3w epic orchestrated theme music] that plays whenever one of them is Summoned.
** Kaiba has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClpQUdH-g7A "I'm Back,"] a song unique to the [[Four Kids4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] dub and a rare leitmotif with lyrics. It's mainly limited to the first season.
** There's also a theme that plays in the English dub whenever Kaiba is hacking computers or doing something similar. It's typically referred to as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaxrnUE2WzE "Kaiba Hacking Theme"].
* ''[[Eureka Seven (Anime)|Eureka Seven]]'' has a rather frantic, chaotic leitmotif play whenever Nirvash and TheEnd fight each other.
Line 99:
** ''[[Digimon Xros Wars (Anime)|Digimon Xros Wars]]'' LOVES leitmotifs, with several variations of different songs. There's several, but special mention goes to the Bagra Empire's theme, which has no less than ''seven'' versions of the theme played throughout the series.
* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', if someone has an elaborate [[Transformation Sequence]], it will be accompanied by their Leitmotif. Some, like Fate's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1czXpwyVc9c Flash of Gold]" or Teana's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H367cs3Qvo0 Meteoric Marksman]", are action-packed enough to be used for [[Theme Music Power-Up]] purposes as well. Others, like Nanoha's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR-vzNA1d0Q Raising Heart, Set Up!]", can't be used anywhere else so she has other character themes for [[Defeat Means Friendship|befriending purposes]], like "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsSjvKOdL8M Ace of Aces]".
** Special mention goes to the name of Subaru's personal [[Theme Music Power-Up|I'm-Going-To-Kick-Ass-Now]] Leitmotif for managing to throw in yet another ''[[GaoGaiGar (Anime)|Gao Gai Gar]]'' [[Shout -Out]]. Its name? "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbyHPrQQO7Y The Meaning of Courage]".
* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn (Manga)|Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' has a number but most notable is Hibari's which is about the only piece in the show on the piano and means that you know from the beginning just how awesome he is.
** Actually, each character has an epic theme song. The editors/writers just don't want to overuse them.
